The  undersigned,  editor  of  this  manual  and  of  the  monthly  depart- 
mental joumal,  entitled  "The  United  States  Record  and  Gazette," 
offers  his  services  to'those  in  need  of  information,  advice,  or  assist- 
ance, in  any  matter  requiring  the  action  of  the  legislative,  executive, 
or  judicial  authorities  at  Washington,  or  elsewhere,  at  home  or  abroad, 
or  in  any  matter  wherein  the  inquirer  may  have  cause  to  believe  that 
he  can  be  belter  or  more  speetiily  informed,  advised,  or  assisted,  than 
at  home. 

P^  Persons  who  deem  themselves  to  have  just  and  efficient  claims  and 

^  influences  upon  the  public  patronage  which  have  not  been  recognized, 
may  find  in  this  offer  an  opportunity  of  obtaining  such  special  infor- 
mation and  advice  as  they  need  to  make  their  efforts  successful;  but 
the  undersigned  does  not  profess  to  be  able  to  influence  appointments, 
directly  or  indirectly.  Persons  who  are  in  want  of  political,  official, 
or  historical  information,  which  can  be  more  readily  obtained  from 
the  immense  collection  of  manuscripts,  bound  and  pamphlet  Ijooks, 
and  records  accumulated  at  the  seat  of  government  than  by  other 
means,  are  invited  to  avail  themselves  of  this  agency.  Pereons  inter- 
ested in  getting  cadetships,  lieutenantcies,  or  medical  appointments, 
in  the  army,  or  cadetships,  or  pay,  medical  or  marine  appointments  in 
the  navy,  can  obtain  necessary  information. 

Many  years'  residence  at  Washington,  with  daily  experience  within 
and  before  the  public  offices,  justifies  the  undersigned  in  asserting  that 
he  can  often  perform  material  service  to  the  absent  or  inexperienced, 
and  to  such  he  extends  the  suggestion,  not  to  refrain  from  addressing 
themselves  to  him  because  of  a  tloubt  whether  theirs  is  a  case  or 
question  within  the  scope  of  this  announcement,  but  to  lay  the  matter 
before  him,  if  they  have  any  reasonable  ground  for  believing  it  to  be  a 
proper  one  for  his  attention.

PREFACE. 

This  manual  is  intended  to  show,  in  plain  and  compact  form,  the 
patronage,  working-organization,  and  business  of  the  Federal  Gov- 
ernment, and  the  means  by  which  any  deserving  and  capable  aspirant 
lor  public  employment  may  hope  to  share  therein. 

The  public  business  of  the  United  States  is  largely  transacted  by 
officers,  agents,  and  emj^loyees,  selected  and  patronized  by  the  influ- 
ential members  of  the  political  party  in  charge  of  the  government  for 
the  time  being,  and  their  tenure  of  office  is  practically  dependent  ui>oii 
the  continued  ascendency  of  that  parly,  and  a  continuance  of  the  in- 
fluence and  patronage  that  led  to  their  selection. 

There  are  certain  formal  acts  of  procedure  necessary  to  be  done  in 
making  the  political  or  other  influence  of  an  aspirant  for  olifice  avail- 
able, and  these  acts  are  sufficiently  described  and  illustrated  herein. 

This  volume  is  intended  to  be  practically  complete  within  the 
scojie  indicated  by  its  title,  and  any  omissions  observed  in  it  will 
probably  be  such  as  are  purposely  made  because  they  are  of  no  prac- 
tical service  to  the  readers  of  the  book.  But  any  reader  desiring 
further  or  more  particular  information  on  any  subject  treated  herein, 
or  upon  any  subject  not  mentioned  at  all,  will  be  interested  in  the 
advertisement  of  the  Bureau  of  Information  which  fronts  this  preface. 

The  steady  growth  of  the  business  and  working  force  of  the  Federal 
government,  and  the  practical  contentment  of  the  people  with  the  ex- 
isting system  of  bestowing  and  exercising  the  public  employments, 
create  a  genuine  demand  for  information  of  the  character  herein  given, 
while,  at  the  same  time,  the  publication  of  such  intelligence  not  only 
brings  the  knowledge  of  the  opportunity  for  such  employment  to  large 
numbers  of  uninformed  persons,  but  increases,  in  some  degree,  the 
probability  of  the  public  service  being  well  performed.

GENERAL   DESCRIPTION    OF 
FEDERAL   OFFICES. 


The  patronage  of  the  general  government  consists  of  a  multitude 
of  offices  .and  employments  pertaining  to  the  three  great  departments 
of  government — the  Legislative,  the  Executive,  and  thejudicial. 

The  legislative  patronage  consists  in  the  administrative  offices, 
clerkships,  messengerships,  and  other  superior  and  inferior  employ- 
ments necessary  to  the  service  of  the  Senate,  the  House  of  Represen- 
tatives, and  the  two  Houses  sitting  together  as  the  Congress.  These 
offices  and  employments  are  all  exercised  at  the  seat  of  government. 

The  executive  patronage  (except  the  few  offices  connected  with  the 
President's  household)  is  distributed  among  and  supervised  by  the 
seven  great  departments  of  State,  Treasury,  War,  Navy,  Post  Office, 
Interior,  and  Justice,  and  the  inferior  department  of  Agriculture,  and 
these  executive  offices  and  employments  are  exercised  partly  at  the 
seat  of  government,  partly  in  the  several  States  and  Territories,  and 
partly  abroad. 

The  chief  offices  under  the  State  Department  are  those  of  ministers 
and  consuls  in  foreign  countries.  The  more  numerous  offices  under 
the  Treasury'  Department  are  the  customs  and  internal  revenue  ser- 
vices ;  those  under  the  War  Department,  the  commissioned  and  civil 
forces  of  the  anny  and  its  stations  ;  those  under  the  Navy  Department, 
the  commissioned  and  civil  forces  of  the  navy,  its  yards  and  stations, 
and  the  commissioned  force  of  the  Marine  Corps ;  those  under  the 
Post  Office  Department,  the  postmasterships,  railway  mail  and  contract 
services;  those  un.der  the  Interior  Department,  the  Indian,  land,  pen- 
sion, and  Territorial  services;  and  those  under  the  Department  of 
Justice,  the  attorneyshi|»  and  marshalships  of  the  several  judicial 
districts,  and  the  judiciary 'of  the  Territories. 

Each  of  the  executive  departments  has  its  staff  of  bureau  officers, 
clerks,  messengers,  and  laborers,  employed  at  the  seat  of  government, 
and  there  are  many  other  special  services,  pertaining  to  one  or  the 
I*  (9) 


lO  GENERAL    INFORMATION. 

other  of  them,  which  will  be  particularly  mentioned  in  their  appro- 
priate places  hereafter. 

The  judicial  patronage  consists  in  the  clerkships  and  commissioner- 
ships  of  the  several  courts  of  the'  United  States,  with  such  occasional 
patronage  as  is  incident  to  the  selection  of  receivers,  referees,  com- 
missioners to  take  testimony,  and  other  temporary  officers  needful  to 
the  conduct  of  causes  depending  in  said  courts. 

The  manner  in  which  the  offices  and  employments  constituting  the 
Federal  patronage  shall  be  filled,  vacated,  and  exercised,  is  the 
mooted  point  which  is  suggested  rather  than  expressed  by  the 
familiar  phrase — "  Civil  Service  Reform."  At  the  present  time,  the 
Federal  judges  and  the  commissioned  officers  of  the  army,  navy,  and 
marine  corps,  hold  their  offices  during  life  or  good  behavior,  while 
nearly  all  the  rest  are  filled  and  vacated  at  the  pleasure  of  the  appoint- 
ing power.  The  great  number,  varied  character  and  wide  distribution 
of  these  offices  have  made  the  appointing  power  virtually  dependent 
upon  the  members  of  the  two  Houses  of  Congress  for  advice  and 
assistance  in  filling  and  vacating  them ;  and  this  dependence  has  in 
course  of  time,  and  with  the  constant  growth  of  the  patronage,  resulted 
in  giving  the  members  of  Congress  practical  control  of  the  patronage 
in  their  respective  districts.  But  in  order  that  the  moral  or  active 
influence  of  office-holders  may  not  be  thrown  against  tlie  political 
party  in  charge  of  the  government,  such  control  is  withheld  from 
members  of  Congress  in  opposition,  and  given  to  the  managers  of  the 
administration  party  in  the  States  where  the  offices  are  exercised. 

With  respect  to  the  offices  exercisable  at  the  seat  of  government, 
the  policy  of  the  government  from  the  earliest  times  has  been  to  dis- 
tribute them  as  equally  as  may  be  amongst  the  several  States;  and  in 
consequence  of  this  policy  it  happens  that  members  of  the  Houses  of 
Congress  in  sympathy  with  the  administration,  are  usually  permitted 
to  influence  such  appointments,  and  they  naturally  favor  those  whom 
they  know  and  associate  with  in  the  political  circles  wherein  their 
own  lives  and  activities  are  spent.  ^ 

The  proposed  reform  consists  in  giving  the  original  selection  of 
public  officers  and  employees  to  permanent  and  independent  tribunals, 
commissions  or  officers,  and  opening  to  the  novice  a  lifelong  career 
as  a  civil  officer,  with  its  ascending  scale  of  honors  and  emoluments, 
free  of  all  control  and  influence  by  political  parties  or  politicians. 
This  suggested   change  has  not  thus  far  met  with  a  great  amount  of 


GENERAL    INFORMATION.  II 

active  support,  mainly  for  the  reason  tliat  the  public  service  has  been 
fairly  well  performed,  while  the  offices  have  been  habitually  filleii  by 
men  of  re-ipectable  character  and  attainments;  so  that  in  the  absence 
of  any  great  or  practical  evil,  the  people  at  large  are  indifferent  to, 
and  somewhat  afraid  of,  the  proposed  new  system.  Under  the  exist- 
ing system  there  are  many  cases  of  life  tenure  of  a  practical  kind,  as 
where  the  office  cannot  ba  properly  discharged  without  long  familiar- 
ity with,  and  training  in,  its  duties. 

Who   May  Obtain   Office. 

The  President  is  empowered  to  prescribe  regulations  for  the 
admission  of  persons  to  the  civil  service;  but  no  regulations  of 
general  application  are  in  force.  In  their  absence,  any  person  who 
believes  tliat  he  can  satisfy  the  appointing  power  of  his  fitness  and 
ability  for  general  or  particular  employment,  may  lawfully  and  hope- 
fully apply  for  such  employment.  He  should  show  that  he  is  a 
person  of  good  repute  in  his  community,  and  that  his  physical  and 
mental  qualifications  are  adapted  to  a  satisfactory  discharge  of  public 
duty. 

The  great  mass  of  public  employments  neither  require  nor  call  for 
special  preparatory  training,  but  in  the  departments  at  Washington 
persons  appointed  to  clerical  offices  are  always  required  to  pass  an 
examination  into  their  general  capacity  for  clerical  work,  and  in  such 
isolated  and  temporary  instances  as  the  Interior  Department,  and  the 
New  York  custom  house  at  the  present  time,  the  examinations  for  *he 
inferior  cler'cdiips  are  competitive. 

The  following  specimen  list  of  questions  asked  at  a  competitive 
examination  will  be  found  interesting,  and  possibly  useful,  to  aspir-nts 
for  clerical  positions : 

1.  Write  a  letter  addressed  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  gi-  mg 
age,  birthplace,  previous  occupation,  and  present  legal  residence.

and  any  applicant  belonging  to  this  class  should  persistently  urge  this 
qualification  upon  those  whom  he  addresses. 

Women  may  be  as  freely  appointed  as  men  to  public  employments 
which  they  can  satisfactorily  fill,  and  may  receive  like  pay  for  like

them  is  comparatively  limited. 

How  to  Make  Application. 

The  earliest  care  of  an  applicant  for  public  employment  should  be 

the  preparation  of  his  papers.     First,  he   should   compose  and  write 

out  his  application,  in  the  form  of  a  letter  to  the  person  having  the 

power  of  appointment.     He  should  state,  as  closely  as  he   can,  the

particular  office  or  the  kind  of  employment  desired.  If  lie  intends  to 
advocate  the  displacement  of  a  person  in  possession  of  llie  desired 
office,  he  should  give  his  reasons  for  that  person's  removal,  and  they 
should  be  such  as  he  would  not  object  to  have  that  person  see  or  hear. 
He  should  then  state  his  age,  residence,  nativity,  occupation,  physical 
condition,  educational  qualifications,  former  public  employments, 
special  qualifications  for  the  desired  employment,  if  any,  and  what 
claims  he  has  on  the  nation,  his  political  party,  the  particular  branch 
of  the  service  to  which  he  is  applying,  and  the  person  to  whom  his 
letter  is  addressed.  He  should  lastly  mention  the  names,  addresses, 
and  other  particulars  of  public  men,  lawyers,  ministers,  merchants. 
Federal  and  State  officers,  and  other  leading  citizens,  to  whom  he  re- 
fers for  proof  of  good  character  and  general  capacity.  The  following 
is  given  as  a  model  for  an  application  : 

"Saluda,  Ohio,  May  15,  1880. 
"  To  THE  Honorable  Postmaster-General  : 

"  Sir  : — I  respectfully  apply  for  an  appointment  as  a  railway  post- 
office  clerk  or  mail  route  agent.  I  am  37  years  of  age,  a  native  of 
Canada  naturalized  in  the  United  States,  a  resident  of  Saluda,  Scott 
county,  Ohio,  a  machinist  by  occupation,  of  sound  health  and  body, 
and  the  possessor  of  a  public  school  and  academic  education.  I  was 
for  two  years,  in  1872  and  1873,  an  assorting  clerk  in  the  Cincinnati 
post-office,  and  had  much  experience  in  the  handling  of  mail  matter, 
and  acquired  much  knowledge  of  the  names  and  locations  of  post- 
offices  in  the  Middle  and  Western  States. 

"  I  served  for  two  and  a  half  years  as  a  private  and  non-commis- 
sioned officer  in  the  65th  Ohio  Volunteers,  and  was  severely  wounded 
in  action  at  Atlanta.  I  have  been  for  ten  years  an  active  member  of 
the  Republican  party  in  this  close  Congressional  District,  and  have 
always  done  all  that  could  honorably  be  done  to  promote  its  success. 

"  I  beg  to  refer  to  General  Slote,  the  Representative  from  this  Dis- 
trict, Postmaster  Sperry,  County  Judge  James  Robertson,  the  Rev.  Dr. 
Jacob  Paulding,  Mr.  Thomas  Mar^liall,  merchant,  Lawyer  John  Dodd, 
Dr.  Ephraim  Squires,  and  many  other  prominent  citizens  of  Saluda, 
for  evidence  of  my  character  and  fitness  for  an  appointment  in  the 
postal  service.  Your  obedient  servant, 

"  Charles  T.  Campbell." 

The  applicant  should  next  proceed  to  obtain  letters  of  recommen- 
dation from  the  leading  citizens  of  his  neighborhood,  without  regard 
to  their  political  affiliations.  He  should  endeavor  to  get  a  separate, 
autograph  letter  from  each  indorser,  couched  in  the  writer's  own  lan- 
guage, and  he  should  always  suggest  to  the  writer  to  put  his  recom- 
mendation in  such  a  way  as  to  show  upon  its  face  tliat  he  means_  what 
he  says.     The  appointing  officers  at  Washington  are  never  much  im- 


GENERAL   INFORMATION.  I5 

pressed  by  a  circular  letter  of  rccomiTieudation,  apparently  drawn  up 
by  the  applicant  or  a  friend,  and  jjasscd  about  for  signature,  and  the 
frc'iuent  practice  of  several  persons  writing  and  signing  the  phrase 
"I  concur"  beneath  a  preceding  recommendation  should  be  avoided. 
The  applicant  should  add,  in  his  own  hand,  to  the  signature  appended 
lo  each  letter  of  recommendation,  such  brief  note  of  the  writer's 
local  position  and  standing  as  will  enable  the  appointing  power  to 
understand  the  true  value  of  the  recommendation. 

When  the  formal  application  and  recommendations  are  ready,  the 
applicant  should  next  exert  himself  to  interest  his  Representative  in 
Congress  in  his  application.  If  they  are  not  in  political  accord,  these 
efforts  should  be  confined  to  convincing  the  Representative  that  the 
appointment  would  be  popular  with  and  give  real  satisfaction  to  the 
belter  cla.ss  of  people  in  the  community,  and  especially  to  the  inde- 
pendent voters  whose  opinions  and  good-will  require  conciliation. 
If  they  are  in  political  accord,  the  value  of  the  past  and  future  services 
of  the  applicant  to  the  party  should  be  impre-ised  upon  the  Repre- 
sentative by  letter  and  speech  from  the  applicant  himself,  and  from 
everybody  whom  he  can  persuade  lo  write- or  speak  to  the  Repre- 
sentative in  his  behalf.  The  Senators  from  the  ajiplicant's  State 
should  also  be  enlisted  in  the  same  way  if  possible,  but  they  must  not 
be  relied  upon  as  much  as  the  Representative.  If  neither  the  Rep- 
resentative nor  the  appointing  authority  belong  to  the  same  political 
party  as  the  applicant,  the  latter  must  trust  to  other  tlian  political 
influences  or  aids  if  he  venture  to  try  or  to  hope  for  a  place  at  all. 

When  the  applicant  succeeds  in  getting  the  Representative,  of  such 
other  political  leader  as  he  is  obliged  to  depend  upon,  interested  in 
his  case  and  satisfied  of  his  good  repute  and  ability,  he  should  see 
to  it  that  his  papers  are  mailed,  or  presented,  to  the  appointing 
officers,  in  order  that  they  may  be  properly  recorded  and  filed,  and  so 
made  accessible  at  any  time.  Thenceforward,  for  a  definite  time 
(say  a  short  month),  he  should  devote  his  whole  surplus  of  time  and 
energy  to  keeping  his  personal  and  political  friends  at  work  upon  his 
case,  writing  or  speaking  to  anybody  and  everybody  likely  to  be  of 
any  service,  and  always  acting  upon  the  theory  that  everybody,  no 
matter  how  much  interested,  apparently,  in  his  case,  forgets  all  about 
it  as  soon  as  he  is  out  of  sight  or  hearing  every  time. 

If  no  progress  is  made  in  the  definite  time  laid  down  in  advance, 
the  applicant  should  abandon  his  eflbrts  long  enough  to  enable  his 


1 6  GENERAL    INFORMATION. 

friends   and   backers  to  get  over   fatigue  and  doubtfulness,  and  then 
begin  afresh. 

The  same  general  course  of  procedure  should  be  followed  in  the 
pursuit  of  the  more  temporary  and  inferior  public  employments,  or 
of  those  where  the  appointing  or  nominating  authority  is  nearer  at 
home,  and  more  accessible  to  personal  importunity  and  local  influence. 

The  applicant  should  never  feel  sure  of  appointment  till  appointed, 
nor  should  ever  fear  that  he  is  saying  or  doing  too  much  himself,  or 
that  others  are  doing  or  saying  too  much  for  him,  or  that  any  help  he 
can  get  from  any  quarter,  of  any  kind,  will  be  useless.  However 
numerous  and  warm  his  friends  may  be,  none  will  ever  feel  so  much 
interested  as  himself  in  his  success,  and  the  more  active  and  per- 
sistent he  is  in  availing  himself  of  the  services  and  influence  of 
others,  the  more  anxious  they  will  be  to  regain  their  own  peace  by 
getting  him  placed  as  speedily  as  possible.  First,  an  applicant 
should  be  sure  in  his  own  mind  that  he  really  needs  or  desires  a 
public  employment;  next,  he  must  be  satisfied  that  the  application 
and  recommendations  are  such  as  would  secure  him  a  position  if  there 
were  more  places  than  applicants  ;  and,  lastly,  he  must  feel,  and  act 
upon  the  feeling,  that  he  is  engaged  in  a  desperate  struggle  with  a 
great  number  of  competitors  for  the  same  place,  all  of  them  as  eager, 
and  moht  of  them  as  enterprising,  as  himself.  He  should  also  be 
mindful  of  the  fact  that  unsystematic  and  unskillful  activity  is  likely 
to  waste  the  time  and  wear  out  the  spirits  of  himself  and  his  friends. 

It  is  always  useful  for  an  applicant,  who  cannot  himself  attend  and 
wait  upon  the  appointing  officer,  to  have  some  friend  or  correspondent 
to  make  a  business  of  frequently  visiting  the  appointing-office  and 
(without  attempting  to  exert  direct  influence)  keep  watch  and  track 
of  the  applicant's  interest  amid  the  constantly-changing  circumstances 
that  affect  it. 

An  applicant  for  office  should  not  apply  for  employment  generally 
if  he  can  avoid  it ;  but  his  chances  are  always  much  better  when  he 
is  able  to  point  out  and  apply  for  the  particular  employment,  or  kind 
or  class  of  employment,  that  he  seeks.  On  the  other  hand,  he  should 
not  frame  his  application,  or  his  written  or  oral  communications  so 
absolutely  as  to  discourage  others  from  seeking  for  or  offering  to  him 
a  different  office  from  the  one  designated  by  himself. 

Modesty  of  speech  and  behavior  should  always  be  displayed  by 
an  applicant  for  office,  but  he  must  be  particular  to  set  out  and  refer 


GENERAL    INFORMATION.  I  7 

to  every  claim  or  inrluccment  likely  to  be  of  direct  or  indirect  service, 
and  he  should  not  shrink  from  applying  for  the  highest  appointment 
for  which  he  can  secure  honest  and  sincere  recommendations  and 
assistance.  A  frequent  qualification  and  motive  for  appointing  a 
person  to  an  inferior  office  is  the  contest  he  has  made,  and  the  social 
and  political  backing  he  has  received,  for  an  important  place. 

In  respect  to  offices  not  exercised  in  the  incumbent's  own  State,  it 
has  come  to  bjs  almost  a  fixed  rule  that  citizens  of  the  same  State  are 
to  succeed  each  other  indefinitely  in  them,  so  that  one  qualification 
for  such  an  office  is  that  the  applicant  is  from  the  same  State  as  the 
late  or  present  incumbent. 

It  is  impossible  to  give  separate  or  special  advice  to  each  reader 
of  this  manual  concerning  the  ])articular  office  or  kind  of  employment 
for  which  he  should  make  application.  He  should  consider  his  own 
age,  bodily  condition,  intellectual  attainments,  tastes,  habits,  past 
experience,  social  and  political  rank,  and  Influence  in  the  community 
and  his  party,  and,  having  informed  himself,  from  this  work  and  any 
other  source  of  information  at  command,  as  to  how  many  and  what 
kinds  of  appointments  he  could  possibly  get,  should  select  those 
which  seem  to  hold  out  the  best  prospects  of  success  or  satisfaction, 
and  frame  his  application  and  recommendations  accordingly.  All 
public  employments  have,  to  a  greater  or  lesser  extent,  the  common 
advantages  of  higher  pay,  easier  labor  and  surer  returns  than  private 
employments,  and  it  is  just  these  advantages  that  tempt  men  to  forego 
the  manliness,  independence,  and  opportunities  of  private  life ;  so 
that,  if  they  did  not  exist,  the  government  could  get  no  service  at  all, 
except  in  the  higher  grades,  where  the  mere  honor  of  holding  office 
would  be  a  sufficient  inducement  to  the  more  opulent  classes  of  the 
people. 

By  Whom  Appointments  are  Made. 

Every  Federal  employment  is  exercised  under  the  legislative,  the 
executive,  or  the  judicial  department  of  government. 

In  the  legislative  department,  the  Secretary  and  other  principal 
officers  of  the  Senate  are  chosen  by  a  caucus  of  the  Senators  belonging 
to  the  political  majority.  The  Secretary  appoints  the  clerical  and 
laboring  force  of  his  office;  the  Sergeant-at-Arms  appoints  the  door- 
keepers, mail  and  document  employees,  and  the  general  working 
force ;  and  the  chainnen  of  committees  severally  appoint  the  commit- 
tee clerks.

several  departments,  and  virtually  appoint  the  important  officers, 
whether  at  Washington  or  elsewhere,  whose  offices  are  superintended 
by  their  respective  departments;  but  in  these  cases  the  President  may 
be  addressed,  and  solicited,  and  visited,  with  perfect  propriety,  as  well 
as  the  heads  of  departments. 

Applicants  for  diplomatic  and  consular  offices  must  look  to  the 
Secretary  of  State ;  applicants  desiring  to  be  heads  of  bureaus  of  the

unskilled  workmen  and  laborers,  in  the  Government  Printing  Office. 
The  Sergeants-at-Arms  of  Congress  have  much  occasional  employ- 
ment for  deputies,  and  there  are  many  temporary  appointments  made 
by  the  other  appointing  officers  of  Congress,  and  the  iame  may  be  said 
of  the  heads  of  the  Executive  departments  and  bureaus.  Consuls 
have  the  nomination  of  numerous  assistants  and  agents.  The  Comp- 
troller of  the   Currency  appoints  the  examiners   of  national  banks. 


GENERAL    IN'rOR.MA'l  ION.

The  Surgeon-General  of  Marine  Hospitals  has  the  practical  selection 
of  assistant  surgeons  in  that  service.  The  Commissioner  of  Internal

Revenue  nominate  their  deputies,  clerks,  store-keepers,  and  gaugers. 
The  Collectors,  Naval  Officers,  Surveyors,  and  Appraisers  of  Customs, 
nominate  their  clerks  and  other  subordinates.  The  .Marine  Hospital 
Surgeons  nominate  their  subordinates.  The  Superintendents  of  Con-

struction. The  Quartermasters,  Commissaries,  Paymasters,  Engineers, 
Ordnance  Officers,  and  Store-keepers  of  the  army,  employ  large 
numbers  of  clerks,  superintendents,  workmen,  and  laborers.  The 
Surgeon-General  selects  a  large  part  of  the  hospital  stewards  of  the 
army.  The  Chief  Signal  Officer  selects  the  weather  observers.  The 
Chiefs  of  Bureaus  of  the  Navy  Department  have  the  virtual  appoint- 
ment of  the  boatswains,  gunners,  sadmakers,  carpenters,  and  civilian 
surgeons  of  the  navy.  The  Indian  Agents  choose  the  agency

Tenure  of  Offices. 

Most  of  the  public  employments  are  held  at  the  will  of  the  appoint- 
ing power,  and  this  will  is  very  much  governed  by  the  wishes  of  the 
influential  members  of  the  administration  parly. 

Judges  of  the  Supreme,  Circuit  and  District  Courts,  and  of  the 
Court  of  Claims  and  Supreme  Court  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  and 
commissioned  officers  of  the  army,  navy,  ajid  marine  corps,  hold

20  GENERAL    INFORMATION. 

Official  Bonds. 
As  a  general  rule,  officers  having  the  receipt,  custody,  or  disburse- 
ment of  public  money,  or  the  custody  or  expenditure  of  public 
property,  are  required  to  give  bond  for  the  faithful  performance  of 
their  trust.  The  bonds  are  so  numerous  and  various  for  the  several 
officers  and  classes  of  officers,  that  it  is  impracticable  to  set  them  out, 
but  it  will  suffice  to  say  that  the  amount  is  never  in  excess  of  the 
dignity  and  salary  of  the  office,  that  the  execution  and  approval  of 
them  are  not  matters  of  difficulty,  and  that  they  are  no  practical  obsta- 
cle to  any  applicant  worthy  of  recommendation  or  appointment. 

Oaths  of  Office. 

Every  person  appointed  to  office  must  take  an  oath  of  past  loyalty 
and  future  allegiance  to  the  United  States  government;  or,  if  he  can- 
not take  the  oath  of  past  loyalty,  he  must  take:  the  modified  oath  of 
future  and  paramount  allegiance  to  the  Federal  government. 

There  are  additional  oaths  for  officers  appointed  in  the  customs, 
postal  and  judicial  service,  relating  to  a  faithful  discharge  of  duty, 
and  not  necessary  to  be  set  out  herein. 

Customs  and  internal  revenue  officers  are  required  to  make  oath 
that  they  have  not  received  presents  from  importers  or  manufac 
turers  each  time  that  they  draw  their  salaries. 

Disabilities  of  Officers. 

No  officer  can  receive  the  salary  of  two  offices  for  the  same  time. 

Extra  compensation  for  extra  services  is  not  allowable  unless  ex- 
pressly authorized  by  law  in  any  case. 

No  officer  can  prosecute  or  be  interested  in  any  claim  against  the 
United  States,  unless  it  be  his  own  claim;  nor  can  a  departmental 
officer  prosecute  claims  within  two  years  after  leaving  the  service. 

No  officer  can  take  compensation  for  services  in  any  matter  where- 
in the  United  States  are  interested. 

Officers  must  not  demand  or  receive  higher  fees  than  allowed  by 
law,  nor  take  presents  or  gratuities  from  the  public. 

Officers  connected  with  the  branches  of  service  to  which"  such 
matters  pertain,  must  not  be  interested  in  importing,  navigatioHj 
banking,  public  funds,  public  lands,  postal  contracts,  or  Indian 
traffic. 

Officers  having  the  custody  of  public  property  or  money,  must  not 
traffic  or  speculate  in  it. 


GENERAL    INFORMATION.  21 

Office-holders  must  not  solicit  or  make  contributions  for  presents  to 
superiors,  nor  receive  presents  from  subordinates. 

The  Federal  Capital. 

The  post  office  address  of  the  seat  of  j^'ovcrnment  is  "  WasIiin<jton, 
D.  C,"  and  that  is  the  station  for  which  tickets  should  .be  taken  upon 
all  lines  of  travel  to  the  national  capital.  The  United  States  Capitol 
is  the  home  of  the  Congress,  the  two  Houses  of  which  constitute  tlie 
legislative  branch  of  the  Federal  government.  Numerous  other 
buildings  within  the  territorial  limits  of  the  capital  accommodate  the 
executive  and  judicial  branches  and  the  local  government. 

It  is  never  absolutely  necessary  to  know  the  personal  name  of  a 
public  officer.  But  the  nam'e  of  the  holder  of  any  office  can  be  fur- 
nished by  the  publisher  of  this  work,  if  desired.  A  communication 
addressed  to  him  by  the  name  of  his  office,  will  reach  him  as  surely 
and  speedily  as  though  his  baptismal  and  family  names  appeared 
upon  the  envelope.  Nor  is  it  necessary  (though  it  is  desirable)  that 
the  name  of  his  office  should  be  given  with  complete  accuracy.  It 
would  be  very  difficult  to  name  a  public  office  in  such  a  way  as  to 
confound  or  mislead  the  disirilniting  clerks  of  the  Wasliiiigton  post 
office. 

It  is  not  necessary  that  a  correspondent  should  know  certainly  to 
what  public  officer  his  communication  should  be  addressed.  If  he 
should  happen  to  address  himself  to  the  wrong  official,  his  letter 
would  be  referred  to  the  right  one  immediately. 

It  is  not  necessary  to  find  out  whether  a  pulilic  officer  is  present  or 
absent  from  the  cajiital  before  addressing  him  on  business,  as  a  bu>i- 
ness  communication  will  receive  proper  attention  in  either  case. 

It  is  not  necessary  to  enclose  postage  stamps  in  letters  to  public 
officers  which  require  answers;  hut  it  is  necessary  to  give  a  sufficient 
address  to  which  an  answer  can  be  sent,  without  trusting  to  the  post- 
mark upon  the  envelope. 

A  single  letter  to  a  public  officer  should  never  refer  to  more  than 
a  single  matter  of  business,  but  as  many  separate  letters  as  can  ba  juit 
therein  may  be  enclosed  in  one  envelope,  if  all  are  intended  for  the 
.same  officer. 

For  the  purpose  of  indicating  in  a  general  way  the  pulilic  officer  to 
whom  a  letter  upon  any  particular  suliject  may  properly  be  addressed, 
the  following  statement  of  the  distribution  of  business  amongst  the 


2  2  GENERAL    INFORMATION. 

several  heads  of  executive  departments  at  the  scat  of  government  is 
furnished  : 

The  Secretary  of  State  has  charge  of  the  intercourse  between  tlie 
United  States  and  foreign  nations,  the  issuing  of  passports,  and  the 
publication  and  sale  to  tl:e  public  of  the  laws  enacted  by  the 
Congress. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  has  general  charge  of  the  finances, 
commerce  and  navigation  of  the  United  .States,  such  as  collecting, 
keeping  and  disbursing  the  revenue,  managing  the  public  debt,  coin- 
ing money  and  issuing  paper  currencies,  erecting  public  buildings, 
administering  the  tariff  on  imports  and  the  coasting  laws,  and  super-

The  force  of  the  Post  Office  Department  is  very  flexible, 
both  as  to  numbers  and  compensations.  The  foregoing 
lists  of  the  inspection  and  railway  mail  service  are 
approximations  to  the  present  number  and  pay,  but  the 
tendency  is  towards  steady  growth  in  both,  and  there 
are  always  considerable  numbers  of  so-called  temporary 
agents  and  clerks  in  service.  There  are  at  present  some 
130  local  mail  agents,  with  salaries  from  ^100  to  $1,800 
per  year,  and  a  larger  number  of  mail  route  messen- 
gers, with  salaries  from  $100  to  $880  per  year,  Great 
numbers  of  the  5,600  or  5,700  mail  contracts  might 
properly  be  classed  under  the  head  of  patronage  of  the 
Department.

The  tem])orary  and  occasional  patronage  of  this  Depart- 
ment is  of  limited  extent,  and  consists  chiefly  in  the 
em]jloynient  of  special  counsel  to  aid  in  prosecuting 
or  defending  suits  by  or  against  the  United  States,  and 
of  special  agents  to  inspect,  investigate,  and  report  upon 
the  conduct  of  business  by  the  clerks,  marshals,  and 
attorneys  of  the  Federal  courts  throughout  the  country. 
These  special  employees  are  well  paid,  and  the  eni-

DIPLOMATIC  AND  CONSULAR  OFFICES. 

The  pay  of  a  diplomatic  or  consular  officer  is  calculated  from  the 
time  when  he  begins  to  receive  his  instructions;  but  not  more  than 
thirty  days  time  is  allowed  to  this  business,  and  he  must  take  the 
most  direct  route  to  his  station.  On  his  return  home,  time  is  allowed 
for  the  return  journey  by  the  most  direct  route,  unless  he  has  re- 
signed, or  been  recalled,  because  of  official  misconduct. 

Diplomatic  and  consular  officers  must  not  be  absent  from  their 
posts  more  than  ten  days  in  one  year,  without  leave  obtained  from 
the  President,  and  then  only  for  si.xty  days,  not  including  the  time 
spent  in  the  round  journey  if  the  officer  visits  his  home. 

Allowances  for  clerical  service  are  made  to  a  considerable  num- 
ber of  the  larger  consulates. 

The  thirteen  consular  clerks  hold  office  during  good  behavior 
after  appointment. 

The  consular  offices  compensated  only  by  fees,  are  usually  sought 
and  filled  by  persons  who  desire  to  hold  the  offices  and  live  at  the 
stations  for  purposes  of  business,  health,  or  pleasure,  and  not  for  the 
emoluments  of  the  offices  themselves.

FEDERAL   OFFICES  AND    EMPLOYMENTS    IN 
EACH   STATE  AND   TERRITORY. 

REMARKS. 

Circuit  judges,  revenue  and  treasury  agents,  army  physicians, 
quartermaster,  commissary,  medical  and  pay  clerks,  superintendents 
of  railway  mails,  and  post-office  inspectors,  are  not  unalterably 
fixed  to  the  cities  or  States  to  which  they  are  assigned  in  the  follow- 
ing pages,  so  that  changes  among  them  are  possible  from  time  to 
time,  both  in  number  and  location. 

There  are  2400  route  agents  and  postal  clerks  in  the  railway 
mail  service,  at  salaries  from  $900  to  ^1400,  and  240  mail-route 
messengers  in  the  same  service,  at  salaries  from  ^320  to  $Soo,  and 
this  great  force  is  taken  from  and  employed  in  every  State  in  the 
Union;  but  it  is  not  possible  to  show  the  numbers  and  routes  in 
each  State  separately. 

The  post-office,  customs,  judicial,  public  land,  light-house,  life- 
saving,  marine  hospital  and  steamboat  inspection  services  are  con- 
stantly growing  in  numbers,  stations  and  salaries;  the  other  services 
are  stationary,  and  some  have  a  tendency  to  decrease. 

The  arsenals  and  navy-yards  are  mentioned  in  their  proper  places, 
but  no  attempt  is  made  to  give  numbers,  grades  and  wages  of  em- 
ployees, because  of  the  temporary  and  fluctuating  character  of  em- 
ployments therein. 

Post-offices  which  yield  a  less  compensation  than  55oo  to  their 
post-masters  are  not  mentioned,  nor  are  the  number  and  salaries  of 


OFFICES    BY    STATES.  49 

clerks  in  small  post-ofTices,  employing  but  a  few  clerks  at  inferior 
salaries,  for  the  double  reason  that  such  information  about  petty 
ofiices  is  readily  olMained  on  the  spot  and  nobody  but  those  residing 
on  the  spot  is  interested  in  the  information. 

Large  numbers  of  persons  derive  a  revenue  from  the  United 
States  as  contractors  for  carrying  the  mails,  or  constructing  public 
buildings,  or  improving  rivers  and  harbors,  or  furnisliing  or  trans- 
porting army  and  Indian  supplies,  or  supplying  navy  yards  wiiii 
materials  or  stores,  or  surveying  i)ul)lic  lands;  but  these  services  are 
professedly  open  to  and  regulated  by  public  competition,  and  are  loo 
fluctuating  to.be  scheduled  or  classitied  in  this  work. 

Ai)poinlments  in  the  larger  custom-iiouses  and  post-offices  are  not 
confined  to  residents  in  the  immediate  locality  of  such  establish- 
ments, but  are  open  to  the  whole  Slate.

APPENDIX. 


National  Democratic  Platform,   1880. 

The  Democrats  of  the  United  States,  in  convention  assembled, 
declare  : — 

First — We  pledge  ourselves  anew  to  the  constitutional  doctrines 
and  traditions  of  the  Democratic  party,  as  illustrated  by  the  teaching 
and  example  of  a  long  line  of  Democratic  statesmen  and  patriots, 
and  embodied  in  the  platform  of  the  last  National  Convention  of  the 
party. 

Second — Opposition  to  centralizationism  and  to  that  dangerous 
spirit  of  encroachment  which  tends  to  consolidate  the  powers  of  all 
the  departments  in  one,  and  thus  to  create,  whatever  be  the  forms 
of  government,  a  real  despotism.  No  sumptuary  laws ;  separation 
of  Church  and  State,  for  the  good  of  each  ;  common  schools  fostered 
and  protected. 

Third — Home  rule;  honest  money,  consisting  of  gold  and  silver, 
and  paper  convertible  to  coin  on  demand.  The  strict  maintenance 
of  the  public  faith.  State  and  national,  and  a  tariff  for  revenue  only. 

Fourth — The  subordination  of  the  military  to  the  civil  power,  and 
a  general  and  thorough  reform  of  the  civil  service. 

Fifth — The  right  of  a  free  ballot  is  the  right  preservative  of  all 
rights,  and  must  and  shall  be  maintained  in  every  part  of  the 
United  States. 

Sixth — The  existing  administration  is  the  representative  of  con- 
spiracy only,  and  its  claim  of  right  to  surround  ballot  boxes  with 
troops  and  deputy  marshals  to  intimidate  and  obstruct  the  electors, 
and  the  unprecedented  use  of  the  veto  to  maintain  its  corrupt  and 
despotic  power,  insult  the  people  and  imperil  their  institutions. 

Seventh — The  great  fraud  of  1876-77,  by  which,  upon  a  false 
count  of  the  electoral  votes  of  two  States,  the  candidate  defeated  at 
the  polls  was  declared  to  be  President,  and  for  the  first  time  m 
American  history  the  will  of  the  people  was  set  aside  under  a  threat 
of  military  violence,  struck  a  deadly  blow  at  our  system  of  represen- 
(124). 


NATIONAL    DEMOCRATIC    PLATFORM,     l8So.  1 25 

tative  government.  The  Democratic  party,  to  preserve  the  country 
from  the  horrors  of  a  civil  war,  submitted  for  the  time,  in  firm  and 
patriotic  faith  that  the  people  would  punish  this  crime  in  1880.  This 
issue  precedes  and  dwarfs  every  other.  It  imposes  a  more  sacred 
duty  upon  the  people  of  the  Union  than  was  ever  addressed  to  the 
conscience  of  a  nation  of  freemen. 

Eighth — We  execrate  the  course  of  this  administration  in  making 
places  in  the  civil  service  a  reward  for  jiolitical  crime,  and  demand 
a  reform  by  statute  which  shall  make  it  forever  impossible  for  the 
defeated  candidate  to  bribe  his  way  to  the  seat  of  a  usurper  by  bil- 
leting villains  upon  the  people. 

A^inth — The  resolution  of  Samuel  J.  Tilden  not  again  to  he  a 
candidate  for  the  exalted  place  to  which  he  was  elected  by  a  major- 
ity of  his  countrymen,  and  from  which  he  was  excluded  by  the 
leaders  of  the  Republican  party,  is  received  by  the  Democrats  of  the 
United  States  with  .sensibility,  and  they  declare  their  confidence  in 
his  wisdom,  patriotism  and  integrity,  unshaken  by  the  assaults  of  a 
common  enemy,  and  they  further  assure  him  that  he  is  followed  into 
the  retirement  he  has  chosen  for  himself  by  the  sympathy  and  respect 
of  his  fellow  citizens,  who  regard  him  as  one  who,  by  elevating 
the  standards  of  public  morality,  and  adorning  and  purifying  the 
public  service,  merits  the  lasting  gratitude  of  his  country  and  his 
party. 

Tenth — Free  .ships  and  a  living  chance  for  American  commerce 
on  the  seas  and  on  the  land.  No  discrimination  in  favor  of  trans- 
portation lines,  corporations  or  monopolies.

Chinese  immigration,  except  for  travel,  education  and  foreign  com- 
merce, and  therein  carefully  guarded. 

Twelfth — Public  money  and  pul^lic  credit  for  public  purposes 
solely,  and  public  land  for  actual  settlers.

laboring  man,  and  pledges  itself  to  protect  him  alike  against. the 
cormorants  and  the  commune. 

Fourteenth— Wq  congratulate  the  country  upon  (he  honesty  and 
thrift  of  a  Democratic  Congress,  which  has  reduced  the  public  ex- 
penditure $40,000,000  a  year;  upon  the  continuation  of  prosperity 
at  home  and  the  national  honor  abroad,  and  above  all  upon  the 
promise  of  such  a  change  in  the  administration  of  the  government

TllK  Reiniijiic:in  ]>ariy,  in  Xaiional  Coiiventi;)ii  a.sseinl)!t d,  at  the 
end  ol'  twenty  year.-,  since  the  federal  government  was  fir>t  com- 
mitted to  it>  charge,  Mihmiis  to  the  people  of  the  United  States  this 
lirief  re:  ort  of  its  administration.  It  sujipressed  a  rebellion  uliieii 
iiad  armed  nearlv  a  million  of  men  to  sidjvert  the  national  aniiior- 
itv.  It  reconstriicied  tlie  union  of  the  States,  with  freedom  instead 
of  slaverv  as  its  corner-stone.  It  transformed  4,ODD,ODO  of  liiimaii 
beings  from  the  likeness  of  things  to  the  ranlc  of  citizens.  It 
relieved  Congress  from  the  infamous  work  of  hunting  fugi'.ive 
slaves,  and  cliarged  it  to  see  that  slavery  does  not  e.\ist.  It  has 
raised  the  value  of  our  pa[)er  currency  from  thirty-eight  per  cent,  to 
the  par  of  gold.  It  has  restored  upon  a  solid  basis  payment  in  coin 
ioi-  all  the  national  obligations,  and  has  given  us  a  currency  abso- 
lutely good  and  equal  in  every  part  of  our  e.'<tended  country.  It 
has  lifted  the  credit  of  the  nation  from  the  point  where  si.x  per  cent, 
lioiuis  sold  at  eiglity-six  cents,  to  that  where  four  per  cent,  bonds 
are  eagerly  sought  at  a  premium.  Under  its  administration  railu'ays 
have  increased  from  31,000  miles  in  1S60,  to  more  than  82,000 
miles  in  1S79.  Our  foreign  trade  has  increased  from  $700,000,000 
to  $1,150,000,000  in  the  same  lime,  and  our  exports,  which  were 
$20,000,000  less  than  our  imports  in  1S60,  were  $264,000,000  more 
than  our  im])orts  in  1S79.  Without  resorting  to  loans,  it  lias  since 
the  war  closetl  defrayed  the  ordinary  expenses  of  go\ernment, 
besiiles  the  accruing  interest  of  the  public  debt,  antl  has  an- 
nually disbursed  more  than  $30,000,000  for  soldiers'  pension.*.  It 
has  paid  $888,000,000  of  the  public  debt,  and  by  refunding  the 
balance  at  lower  rates,  has  reduced  the  annual  interest  charge  from 
nearly  $151,000,000  to  less  than  $89,000,000.  All  the  industries  of 
the  ^country  have  revived,  labor  is  in  demand,  wages  have  increased, 
and  th:oughoul  the  entire  country  there  is  evidence  of  a  coming 
prosjicriiy  greater  than  we  have  ever  enjoyed.

for  th^ir  approval  the  following  statements  of  the  pr:ncii)les  and 
purposes  which  will  continue  to  guide  and  inspire  its  elforis  : 


NATIONAL    REPUCI.ICAN'    PLATFORM,     iSSo.  1 27 

Fiiit — Wc  .irruin  tliat  ilie  work  of  ilie  la^t  twenty-one  ycnrs  lias 
been  sucli  as  to  coniiuend  itself  lu  l!ie  favor  of  llie  nation,  an<l  lliat 
the  fruits  of  the  costly  victories  which  we  have  achieved  through 
immense  difliculiies  shoiilil  be  preserved;  thit  the  peace  regained 
should  be  cherished ;  that  the  dissevered  Union  now  happily 
restored  should  be  per[)etuatetl,  ami  tiiat  the  liberties  secured  to  tiiis 
generation  should  be  transmitted  undiminished  to  fulurij  gcnera- 
tions;  that  the  order  eslal)lislied  and  the  credit  ac  [uired  shuuid 
never  be  impaired ;  that  the  pensions  jiromised  sliouhl  be  cx;in- 
guished  by  the  full  payment  of  every  dollar  thereof;  that  the  r.'viv- 
in^  industries  should  be  further  promoted,  and  that  the  commerce, 
already  so  great,  should  be  steadily  encouraged. 

Second — The  Constitution  of  the  United  States  is  a  supreme 
law,  and  not  a  mere  contract ;  out  of  confederated  Stales  it  made  a 
sovereign  nation.  Some  powers  are  denied  to  the  nation,  wiiile 
odiers  are  denied  to  the  States;  but  tiie  boundary  between  liie 
powers  delegated  and  those  reserved  is  to  be  determined  by  the 
national  and  not  by  the  State  tribunals. 

Third — The  work  of  popular  education  is  one  left  to  the  care  of 
the  several  States,  but  it  is  the  duty  of  the  national  governmjiit  to 
aid  that  work  to  tiie  extent  of  its  constitutional  duty.  The  inieUi- 
gence  of  the  nation  is  but  the  aggregate  of  the  intelligence  in  the 
several  States,  and  the  destiny  of  the  nation  must  be  gui<led,  not  by 
the  genius  of  any  one  State,  but  by  the  average  genius  of  all. 

Fourth— 'Xhti.  Constitiuion  wisely  forbids  Congress  to  make  any 
law  respect  ng  an  establishment  of  religion,  but  it  is  idle  to  hope 
that  the  nation  can  be  protected  against  the  influence  of  sectarianism 
while  each  State  is  exposed  to  its  domination.  We  therefore 
recommend  that  the  Constitution  be  so  amended  as  to  lay  the  same 
prohibition  upon  the  Legislature  of  each  Slate,  and  to  forbid  the 
apiiio|iTialion  of  public  funds  to  the  support  of  sectarian  schools. 

////// — We  affirm  the  belief  avowed  in  1876,  that  the  duties  levied 
for  the  purpose  of  revenue  should  so  discriminate  as  to  favnr  ,\mer- 
ic.;n  labor;  that  no  further  grant  of  the  public  domain  should  be 
made  to  any  railway  or  other  cor[ioration ;  that  slavery  having  p'.-r- 
ished  in  the  Slates,  its  twin  barbarity,  polygamy,  must  die  in  the 
Territories;  that  everywhere  tiie  protection  accortled  to  the  citizens 
of  .\meric.ui  i)irih  must  be  secured  to  citizens  by  .American  adop- 
tion ;  and   thai  we  esteem  it   the  duty  of  Congress  to  develop  and 


128  NATIONAL    REPUBLICAN    PLATFORM,     1880. 

improve  our  water  courses  and  harbors,  but  insist  tliat  further  sub 
sidies  to  private  persons  or  corporations  must  cease ;  that  the  obli- 
gations of  the  Republic  to  the  men  who  preserved  its  integrity  in 
the  hour  of  battle  are  undiminished  by  the  lapse  of  the  fifteen  years 
since  their  final  victory — to  do  them  perpetual  honor  is,  and  shall 
forever  be,  the  grateful  privilege  and  sacred  duty  of  the  American 
people. 

Sixth — Since  the  authority  to  regulate  immigration  and  intercourse 
between  the  United  States  and  foreign  nations  rests  with  Congress, 
or  with  the  United  States  and  its  treaty-making  powers,  the  Re- 
publican party,  regarding  •  the  unrestricted  immigration  of  the 
Chinese  as  an  evil  of  great  magnitude,  invoke  the  exercise  of  those 
powers  to  restrain  and  limit  that  immigration  by  the  enactment 
of  such  just,  humane  and  reasonable  provisions  as  will  produce 
that  result. 

Seventh — That  the  purity  and  patriotism  which  characterized  the 
earlier  career  of  Rutherford  B.  Hayes  in  peace  and  war,  and  which 
guided  the  thoughts  of  our  immediate  predecessors  to  him  for  a 
Presidential  candidate,  have  continued  to  inspire  him  in  his  career 
as  Chief  Executive,  and  that  histoi-y  will  accord  to  his  administration 
the  honors  which  are  due  to  an  efficient,  just  and  courteous  discharge 
of  the  public  business,  and  will  honor  his  interpositions  between  the 
people  and  proposed  partisan  laws. 

Eighth  —  We  charge  upon  the  Democratic  party  the  habitual 
sacrifice  of  patriotism  and  justice  to  a  supreme  and  insatiable  lust 
of  office  and  patronage;  that  to  obtain  possession  of  the  national 
and  State  governments  and  the  control  of  place  and  position,  they 
have  obstructed  all  efforts  to  promote  the  purity  and  conserve  the 
freedom  of  suffrage,  and  have  devised  fraudulent  certifications  and 
returns;  have  labored  to  unseat  lawfully  elected  members  of  Con- 
gress, to  secure  at  all  hazards  the  vote  of  a  majority  of  the  States 
in  the  House  of  Representatives;  have  endeavored  to  occupy  by 
force  and  fraud  the  places  of  trust  given  to  others  by  the  people  of 
Maine,  and  rescued  by  the  courageous  action  of  Maine's  patriotic 
sons;  have  by  methods  vicious  in  principle  and  tyrannical  in  prac- 
tice attached  partisan  legislation  to  appropriation  bills,  upon  whose 
passage  the  very  movements  of  the  government  depend,  and  have 
crushed  the  rights  of  individuals;  have  advocated  the  principles 
and  sought  the  favor  of  rebellion  against  the  nation,  and  have  en- 
deavored to  obliterate  the  sacred   memory  of  the  war,  and  to  over- 


NATIONAL   REPUBLICAN    PLATFORM,    lS8o.  1 29 

come  its  inesiimal)ly  valuable  results  of  nationality,  personal 
freeilom,  and  individual  ecjuality.  The  equal,  steady  and  com|)li.-te 
enforcement  of  the  laws,  and  the  protection  of  all  our  citizens  in  the 
enjoyment  of  all  privileges  and  immunities  guaranteed  by  the  con- 
stitution, are  the  first  duties  of  the  nation. 

The  dangers  of  a  "solid"  South  can  only  be  averted  by  a  faithful 
performance  of  every  promise  which  the  nation  has  made  to  the 
ciiizen.  The  execution  of  the  laws  and  the  punishment  of  those 
who  violate  them  are  the  only  safe  methods  by  which  an  enduring 
peace  can  be  secured  and  genuine  prosperity  established  throughout 
the  South.  Whatever  promises  the  nation  makes  the  nation  must 
perform,  and  the  nation  cannot  with  safety  relegate  this  duty  to  the 
States.  The  "solid"  South  must  be  divided  by  the  peaceful  agen- 
cies of  the'ballot,  and  all  opinions  must  there  find  free  expression; 
and  to  this  end  the  honest  voter  must  be  protected  against  terrorism, 
violence  or  fraud. 

And  we  affirm  it  to  be  the  duty  and  purpose  of  the  Republican 
party  to  use  every  legitimate  means  to  restore  all  the  Slates  of  this 
Union  to  the  most  perfect  harmony  that  maybe  practicable;  and  we 
submit  it  to  the  practical,  sensible  people  of  the  United  Slates  to  say 
whether  it  would  not  be  dangerous  to  the  dearest  interests  of  our 
country  at  this  time  to  surrender  the  administration  of  the  national 
government  to  the  ])arty  which  seeks  to  overthrow  the  existing 
policy  under  which  we  are  so  prosperous,  and  thus  bring  distrust 
and  confusion  whore  there  arc  now  order,  confidence  and  hope.

Mentor,  O.,  July  10,  1880. — Dear  Sir  :  On  the  evening  of  the 
8th  of  June  last  I  had  the  honor  to  receive  from  you,  in  the  pres- 
ence of  the  committee  of  which  you  were  chairman,  the  oflicial 
announcement  that  the  Republican  National  Convention  at  Chicago 
had  that  day  nominated  me  as  their  candidate  for  President  of  the 
United  States.  I  accept  the  nomination  with  gratitude  for  the  con- 
fidence it  implies,  and  with  a  deep  sense  of  the  responsibilities  it 
imposes.  I  cordially  indorse  the  principles  set  forth  in  the  platform 
adopted  by  the  Convention.  On  nearly  all  the  subjects  of  which  it 
treats  my  opinions  are  on  record  among  tlie  published  proceedings 
of  Congress.  I  venture,  however,  to  make  special  mention  of  some 
of  the  principal  topics  which  are  likely  to  become  subjects  of 
discussion.

130     GEN.  Garfield's  letter  of  acceptance,  1880. 

Williout  reviewin;^  the  controversies  wliicli  liave  been  settle'l 
ilirin^'  tlic  last  luenty  years,  and  with  no  purpose  or  wish  to  revive 
the  passions  of  the  late  war,  it  should  be  said  that,  while  Repub- 
licans fully  recognize  and  will  strenuously  defend  all  the  ri;jlus 
retained  by  the  people  and  all  the  rights  reserved  to  the  States, 
lliey  leject  the  pernicious  doctrine  of  State  supremacy,  which  so 
long  cri|)ple<l  the  functions  of  the  National  Government,  and  at  one 
lime  brought  the  Union  very  near  to  destruction.  They  insist  that 
the  United  .States  is  a  nation,  with  am[)le  powers  of  sell-preserva- 
tion;  that  its  ciinstitution  and  the  laws  made  in  pursuance  thereof 
"are  the  supreme  law  of  the  land;"  that  the  right  of  ihe  nation  to 
determine  the  method  by  which  its  own  Legisl.iture  shall  be  created 
cannot  be  surrendered  without  abdicating  one  of  the  fundamental 
powers  of  the  government;  that  the  national  laws  relating  to  the 
election  of  Representatives  in  Congress,  shall  neither  be  violated 
nor  evaded ;  tliat  every  elector  shall  be  permitted  freely  and  without 
iiitiniid.ilion  tocast  his  lawful  vote  at  such  election  and  have  it 
honestlv  counted  ;  and  that  the  potency  of  his  vote  shall  not  be 
destroyed  by  the  fraudulent  vote  of  any  other  person.  The  best 
thoughts  and  energies  of  our  people  sliould  be  directed  to  those 
great  questions  of  national  well-being  in  which  all  have  a  common 
interest.  Such  efforts  will  the  sooner  restore  to  perfect  peace  those 
who  were  lately  in  arms  against  each  other,  for  justice  and  good 
will  will  outlast  passion.  But  it  is  certain  that  the  wounds  of  the 
war  cannot  be  completely  healed,  and  the  spirit  of  brotherhood  can- 
not fully  pervade  the  whole  country,  until  every  citizen,  rich  or 
po(jr,  white  or  black,  is  secure  in  the  free  and  equal  enjoyment  of 
every  civii  and  political  right  guaranteed  by  the  consiiluiion  and 
the  laws.  Wiierever  the  enjoyment  of  these  rights  is  not  assured, 
discontent  will  prevail,  immigration  will  cease,  and  the  social  and 
industrial  forces  will  continue  to  be  disturbed  by  the  migration  of 
labor  and  the  consequent  diminution  of  prosperity.  The  National 
Government  should  exercise  all  its  constitutional  authority  to  put 
an  end  to  those  evils,  for  all  the  people  and  all  the  Stales  are 
members  of  one  Ijody,  and  no  member  can  suffer  without  injury  to 
all.  The  most  serious  evils  which  now  afflict  the  South  arise  from 
the  fact  that  there  is  not  such  freedom  and  toleration  of  political 
opinion  and  action  that  the  minority  party  can  e-xercise  an  eflective 
and   wholesome  restraint  upon  the  party  in  power.     Without  such

action  of  the  people.  Wh.ucver  help  the  nation  can  ju-tly  alVor.l, 
should  be  generously  given  to  aid  the  States  in  supporting  common 
schools,  but  it  woukl  be  unjust  to  our  people  and  dangerous  to  our 
institutions  to  apply  any  portion  of  the  revenues  of  tlie  nation  or  of 
the  States  to  the  support  of  sectarian  schools.  The  separation  of  the 
Church  an.l  thj  State  in  cverytliing  relating  to  taxation  should  be 
absolute. 

On  the  subject  of  national  finances  my  views  have  been  so  fre- 
quently and  fully  expressed  that  little  is  needed  in  the  way  of  addi- 
tional st.U-'ment.  The  public  debt  is  now  so  well  secured,  and  the 
rate  of  annual  interest  has  jjeen  so  r-;duced  by  refunding,  that  rigid 
economy  in  expenditures,  and  the  faithful  application  of  our  surplus 
revenues  to  th:  payment  of  the  principal  of  the  deljt,  will  tn-adually 
but  certainly  free  the  people  from  its  burilens  and  close  with  honor 
Mie  financial  c'lapter  of  the  war.  At  the  same  time  the  government 
can  provide  for  all  its  ord!n;iry  expenditure  and  discharge  its  sacred 
obligations  to  the  soKHlvs  of  t!ie  Union  and  to  the  widows  and 
orphans  of  those  who  fell  in  its  defence.  The  resumption  of  specie 
pavments,  which  the  Republican  party  so  courageously  and  success- 
fullv  accomplished,  has  removed  from  the  field  of  controversy  many 
quetions  that  long  and  seriously  di.-turbed  the  credit  of  the  govern- 
ment and  the  business  of  the  country.  Our  pa])er  curr^-ncy  is  now  as 
national  as  the  flag,  and  resumption  has  not  only  made  it  everywhere 
equal  to  coin,  but  has  brought  into  use  our  store  of  gold  and  silver. 
The  circulating  medium  is  more  abundant  than  ever  before,  and  we 
need  only  to  maintain  the  ejuaiity  of  our  dollars  to  insure  to  labor 
and  capital  a  measure*  of  value  from  the  use  of  which  no  one  can 
sufTjr  lo-is.  The  great  prosjjcrity  which  the  country  is  now  enjoying 
should  not  be  endangered  by  any  violent  ch.inges  or  doul.t'ul  finan- 
cial experiments. 

In  reference  to  our  cu-toms  laws  a  policy  sliould  be  pnrsu':d  wliicli

capital  emiiloyed  in  our  great  industries  to  compete  fairly  in  our  own 
markets  with  the  labor  and  capital  of  foreign  production.  We  legis- 
late for  the  people  of  the  United  States,  not  for  the  whole  world,  and 
it  is  our  glory  that  the  American  laborer  is  more  intelligent  and 
better  paid  than  his  foreign  competitor.  Our  country  cannot  be  inde- 
pendent unless  its  people,  with  their  abundant  natural  resources,  pos- 
sess the  requisite  skill  at  any  time  to  clothe,  arm  and  equip  themselves 
for  war,  and  in  time  of  peace  to  produce  all  the  necessary  implements 
of  labor.  It  was  the  manifest  intention  of  the  founders  of  the  govern- 
ment to  provide  for  the  common  defence,  not  by  standing  armies 
alone,  but  by  raising  among,  the  people  a  greater  army  of  artisans, 
whose  intelligence  and  skill  should  powerfully  contribute  to  the  safety 
and  glory  of  the  nation.  Fortunately  for  commerce,  there  is  no  longer 
any  formidable  opposition  to  appropriations  for  the  improvement  of 
our  harbors  and  great  navigable  rivers,  provided  that  the  expenditures 
for  that  purpose  are  strictly  limited  to  works  of  national  importance. 
The  Mississsppi  river  with  its  great  tributaries  is  of  such  vital  impor- 
tance to  so  many  millions  of  people  that  the  safety  of  its  navigation 
requires  exceptional  consideration.  In  order  to  secure ^o  the  nation 
the  control  of  its  waters,  President  Jefferson  negotiated  the  purchase 
of  a  vast  territory  extending  from  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  to  the  Pacific 
Ocean.  The  wisdom  of  Congress  should  be  invoked  to  devise  some 
plan  by  which  that  great  river  shall  cease  to  be  a  terror  to  those  who 
dwell  upon  its  banks,  and  by  which  its  shipping  may  safely  carry  the 
industrial  products  of  25,000,000  of  people.  The  interests  of  agri- 
culture, which  is  the  basis  of  our  material  prosperity,  and  in  which 
seven-twelfths  of  our  population  are  engaged,  as  well  as  the  interest 
of  manufactures  and  commerce,  demand  that  the  facilities  for  cheap 
transportation  shall  be  increased  by  the  use  of  water-courses. 

The  material  interests  of  this  country,  the  traditions  of  its  settlement 
and  the  sentiments  of  our  people,  have  led  the  government  to  offer 
the  widest  hospitality  to  emigrants  who  seek  our  shores  for  new  and 
happier  homes,  willing  to  share  the  burdens  as  well  as  the  benefitsof 
our  society,  and  intending  that  their  posterity  shall  become  an 
undistinguishable  part  of  our  population.  The  recent  movement  of 
the  Chinese  to  the  Pacific  coast  partakes  but  little  of  the  qualities  of 
such  an  emigration,  either  in  its  purposes  or  results.  It  is  too  much 
like  an  importation  to  be  welcomed  without  restriction,  too  much  like 
an  invasion  to  be  looked  upon  without  solicitude.     We  cannot  con-

sent  to  allow  any  form  of  servile  labor  to  be  introduced  among  us 
under  the  guise  of  immigration.  Recognizing  the  gravity  of  this  sub 
ject,  the  present  administration,  supported  by  Congress,  has  sent  to 
China  a  commission  of  distinguished  citizens  for  the  purpose  ot 
securing  such  a  modification  of  the  existing  treaty  as  will  prevent 
evils  likely  to  arise  from  the  present  situation.  It  is  confidently 
believed  that  these  diplomatic  negotiations  will  be  successful,  without 
the  loss  of  commercial  intercourse  between  the  two  powers,  which 
promises  a  great  increase  of  reciprocal  trade  and  the  enlargement  of 
our  markets.  Should  these  efforts  fail,  it  would  be  the  duty  of  Con- 
gress to  mitigate  the  evils  already  felt,  and  prevent  their  increase  by 
such  restrictions  as,  without  violence  or  injustice,  will  place  upon 
sure  foundations  the  peace  of  our  communities  and  the  freedom  and 
the  dignity  of  labor. 

The  appointment  of  citizens  to  the  various  executive  and  judicial 
offices  of  the  government,  is  perhaps  the  most  difficult  of  all  the  duties 
which  the  Constitution  has  imposed  upon  the  Executive.  The  con- 
vention wisely  demands  that  Congress  shall  co-operate  with  the 
executive  departments  in  placing  the  civil  service  on  a  better  basis. 
Experience  has  proved  that,  with  our  frecjuent  changes  of  administra- 
tion, no  system  of  reform  can  be  made  effective  and  permanent  with- 
out the  aid  of  legislation.  Appointments  to  the  military  and  naval 
service  are  so  regulated  by  law  and  custom  as  to  leave  but  little 
ground  f(jr  complaint.  It  may  not  be  wise  to  make  similar  regula- 
tions by  law  for  the  civil  senice.  But  without  invading  the  author- 
ity or  necessary  discretion  of  the  Executive,  Congress  should  devise 
a  method  that  will  determine  the  tenure  of  office,  and  greatly  reduce 
the  uncertainty  which  makes  that  service  so  uncertain  and  unsatisfac- 
tory. Without  depriving  any  officer  of  his  rights  as  a  citizen,  the 
government  should  require  him  to  discharge  all  his  official  duties 
with  intelligence,  efficiency  and  faithfulness.  To  select  wisely  from 
our  vast  population  those  who  are  best  fitted  for  the  many  offices  to 
be  filled,  requires  an  acquaintance  far  beyond  the  rangt  of  any  one 
man.  The  Executive  should  therefore  seek  and  receive  the  informa- 
tion and  assistance  of  those  whose  knowledge  of  the  communities  in 
which  the  duties  are  to  be  performed  best  qualifies  them  to  aid  in 
making  the  wisest  choice. 

The  doctrines  announced  by  the  Chicago  Convention  arc  not  the 
temporary  devices   of  a   party  to   attract   votes  and   carry  elections.

General  Hancock's  Letter  of  Acceptance. 

Governor's  Island,      ) 
New  York  Crrv,  July  29,  1880.  j 

Gentlemen: — I  have  the  honor  lo  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  your 
letter  of  July  13,  18S0,  apprising  mc  furmally  of  my  nomination  to 
the  office  of  President  of  the  United  .Stales  by  the  Nr.ticnal  Demo- 
cratic Convention  lately  assembled  in  Cincinnati.  I  accej.t  the 
nomination  with  grateful  appreciation  of  the  cunlidencc  rejjosed  in  me. 

The  principles  enunciated  by  the  Convention  are  those  I  have  cher- 
ished in  the  past,  and  shall  endeavor  to  maintain  in  the  future. 

The  thirteenth,  fourteenth,  and  fifteenth  amendments  to  the  consti- 
tution of  the  United  States,  embodying  die  results  of  the  war  for  the 
Union,  are  inviolalde.  If  called  to  the  Presidency  I  should  deem  it 
my  duty  to  resist  with  all  my  power  any  attempt  to  impair  or  evade 
the  full  force  and  effect  of  the  constitution,  which  in  every  article, 
section  and  amendment,  is  the  supreme  law  of  the  land.  The  con-ti- 
tution  forms  the  basis  of  the  government  of  the  United  .States.  The 
powers  granted  by  it  to  the  legislative,  executive  and  judicial  depart- 
ments, define  and  limit  the  authority  of  the  general  government. 
Powers  not  delegated  to  the  United  States  ljy  the  constitution,  nor 
prohibited  by  it  to  the  States,  belong  to  the  Slates  respectively,  or  to 
the  people.  The  general  and  State  governments,  each  acting  in  its 
own  sphere  without  trenching  upon  the  lawful  jurisdiction  of  the 
other,  constitute  the  Union.  This  Union,  comprising  a  general  gov- 
ernment w  ith  general  powers  and  State  governments  with  State  powers,.

GENERAL    HANXOCK  S    LETTER.  1 35 

for  pitrpos2s  local  to  the  States,  is  a  policy,  the  foundation,  of  \\  hi.;;i 
were  laid  in  the  profoundet  wisilom. 

This  is  the  Union  our  fatlKr-  made,  and  which  hasbeen  so  repeated 
abroad  and  so  beneficent  at  home.  Tried  by  blood  and  firj,  it  stands 
to-day  a  motlcl  form  of  free  popular  government— a  politicil  syrtem 
which,  ri.^htly  administcrei,  has  been  and  will  continue  to  be  the  ad- 
miration of  the  world.  May  we  not  .say  nearly  in  the  wonls  of 
Wadiington — The  unity  of  };;ovtrnmeiit,  which  coiutilr.tcs  us  one 
people,  is  justly  dear  to  us  ;  it  is  the  main  pillar  in  the  edifice  of  our 
real  indei)unclence,  the  supp(jrt  of  our  peace,  safety  and  prosperity, 
and  of  that  liberty  we  so  highly  prize,  and  intend  at  every  hazard  to 
preserve. 

Hut  no  form  of  government  however  carefully  devised,  no  princi- 
ple-liowever  sound,  will  protect  the  tights  of  the  people  unless  its 
administration  is  faithful  and  efficient.  It  is  a  vit.xl  principle  in  our 
system  that  neitlier  fraud  nor  force  must  be  allowed  to  subvert  the 
riijhts  of  the  p.eople.  When  fr.iud,  violence  or  incompetence  controls, 
the  -I'.ol.lest  constitutions  and  wisest  laws  are  useless.  The  bayonet  is 
not  a  fit  instrument  for  collecting  tlie  votes  of  freemen.  It  is  only  by 
a  full  vote,  free  ballot,  and  fair  count,  tliat  the  people  can  ruh  in  fact, 
as  required  by  the  theory  of  our  government.  Take  this  foundation 
away  and  the  whole  structure  falls. 

Tuldic  office  is  a  trust,  not  a  bounty  bestowed  upon  the  holder;  no 
inc>  mpetcnt  or  dishonest  pcr-ons  should  ever  be  intrusted  with  it,  or 
if  appointed,  they  should  be  promptly  ejected.  The  basis  of  a  sub- 
stantial, ].ractic-nl  civil  service  reform  must  lir^t  be  established  by  the 
people  in  filling  the  elective  ofikes;  if  they  fix  a  high  standard  of 
qualifications  for  office  and  sternly  reject  the  corrujit  and  incompetent, 
the  result  will  be  decisive  in  governing  the  action  of  the  servants 
whom  ihey  intrust  with  appointing  power. 

The  war  for  the  Union  was  successfully  closed  more  than  fifteen 
years  ago.  All  classes  of  our  people  mu-t  share  alike  in  the  blessings 
of  the  Union,  and  are  equally  concerned  in  its  perpetuity  and  in  the 
proper  administration  of  pulilic  affairs.  We  are  in  a  state  of  profound 
peace.  Henceforth  let  it  be  our  purpose  to  cultivate  sentiments  of 
friendship,  and  not  of  animosity,  among  our  fellow  citizens. 

Oi:r  material  interests,  varied  and  progressive,  demand  our  constant 
and  united  efforts.  A  sedulous  and  scrupulous  care  of  the  public 
credit,  together  w  ith  a  wi^e  and  economical  managemcnl  of  our  gov- 


136  ANALYSIS    OF    THE    PLATFORMS. 

ernmental  expenditures,  should  be  maintained  in  order  that  labor  may 
be  lightly  burdened,  and  that  all  persons  may  be  protected  in  their 
right  to  the  fruits  of  their  own  industiy.  The  time  has  come  to  enjoy 
the  substantial  benefits  of  reconciliation.  As  one  people  we  have 
common  interests.  Let  us  encourage  the  harmony  and  generous 
rivalry  among  our  own  industries  which  will  revive  our  languishing 
merchant  marine,  extend  our  commerce  with  foreign  nations,  assist 
our  merchants,  manufacturers  and  producers  to  develop  our  vast  nat- 
ural resources,  and  increase  the  prosperity  and  happiness  of  our  people. 

If  elected  I  shall,  vi^ith  the  Divine  favor,  labor  with  what  ability  I 
possess  to  discharge  my  duties  with  fidelity,  according  to  my  convic- 
tions, and  shall  take  care  to  protect  and  defend  the  Union,  and  to  see 
that  the  laws  be  faithfully  and  equally  executed  in  all  parts  of  the 
country  alike.  I  will  assume  the  responsibility,  fully  sensible  of  the 
fact  that  to  administer  rightly  the  functions  of  government  is  to  dis- 
charge the  most  sacred  duty  that  can  devolve  upon  an  American 
citizen.  I  am,  very  respectfully,  yours,

The  legislation,  administrative 
acts  and  policy  of  Republican

injuriously  enlarge  the  jurisdiction 
and  power  of  the  general  govern- 
ment, at  the  sacrifice  of  legal  and 
wholesome  "home  rule."  Long

Federal  power  and  jurisdiction 
are  limited  in  extent  and  object, 
but  supreme  as  far  as  they  go,  and 
Federal  courts  must  decide  all 
controversies  about  them.  Dem- 
ocratic party  has  habitually  tried 
to  prevent  fair  and  free  elections, 
and  to  defeat  their  results ;  has 
favored  secession  and  rebellion, 
and  tried  to  destroy  legitimate  and 
beneficial  fruits  of  the  war.  So- 
lidity of  the  South  in  support  of 
Democratic  polity  is  itself  a  grave 
danger.

Florida  and  Virginia  are  sometimes  ranked  with  the  doubtful  States 
by  Republicans,  and  Maine  and  Pennsylvania  by  Democrats,  but  not 
in  sincerity.  The  test  of  a  really  doubtful  State — that  is,  the  pouring

Mode  of  Conducting  Presidential  Campaigns. 
Each  poli'ical  party  maintains  a  national  committee  (composed 
of  one  member  from  each  Stale  and  Territory)  with  headquarters  at 
New  York  during  the  campaign.  The  duties  of  this  committee  are 
to  raise  funds  for  the  campaign  by  solicitation  of  wealthy  individ- 
uals or  corporations  whose  sympathies  or  interests  are  with  the 
party;  to  apportion  those  fands  among  the  several  objects  and  local- 
ities connected  with  the  campaign;  to  jiovide,  maintain  and  dis- 
tribute political  orators  ;  to  circulate  pamphlets  of  political  ini'urma-

tion,  argument,  or  invocation;  to  furnish  information,  advice  and 
suggestion  to  the  party  press;  to  collect  and  disseminate  news  of  the 
States  and  prospects  of  the  canvass,  and,  generally,  to  overlook  and 
manage  the  national  interests  of  the  party.  Communications 
addressed  as  follows :  "  To  the  Secretary  of  the  Democratic 
National  Committee,"  or,  "To  the  Secretary  of  the  Republican 
National  Committee,"  at  '•  New  York  City,"  will  reach  their  proper 
destination  and  secure  proper  attention. 

Each  party  maintains  at  Washington  a  "  Congressional  Campaign 
Committee,"  whose  functions  are  to  levy  and  collect  assessments 
upon  the  salaries  or  emoluments  of  such  federal  officers  or  employ- 
ees as  are  under  control'  of  the  party;  to  distribute  copies  of 
approved  speeches  made  in  Congress,  orations  at  political  meetings, 
compilations  of  "facts"  interesting  to  voters,  or  comparative 
exhibits  of  the  "record"  of  the  rival  parties  upon  leading  questions, 
in  close  or  doubtful  congressional  districts,  and,  incidentally,  to  aid 
the  national  committee  in  its  work  in  the  several  States.  Commu- 
nications addressed  as  follows :  "To  the  Secretary  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Congressional  Campaign  Committee,"  or,  "  To  the  Secretary 
of  the  Republican  Congressional  Executive  Committee,"  at  "Wash- 
ington, D.  C,"  will  reach  their  proper  destination  and  receive  their 
proper  attention. 

Each  party  maintains  in  each  State  a  "State  Central  Committee," 
with  headquarters  at  the  State  capital,  or  the  chief  commercial  city. 
The  duty  of  this  committee  is  to  advise  the  national  committee  of 
the  prospects  and  needs  of  the  campaign  in  the  several  parts  of  the 
State;  to  collect  funds  from  sources  not  reached  or  approached  by 
the  national  committee ;  to  receive,  allot,  and  evoke  popular  enthu- 
siasm for  the  orators  sent  by  the  national  committee ;  to  utilize  the 
local  party  speakers  in  supplementing  the  work  of  the  national 
orators;  to  arrange  popular  processions,  meetings  and  barbecues;  to 
organize  local  clubs  and  uniformed  bodies  for  street  parades ;  to 
advise  and  inform  the  local  party  press,  and  generally  to  serve  and 
preserve  the  local  party  interests  in  all  allowable  ways.  Communi- 
cations should  be  addressed  as  follows:  "To  the  Chairman  of  the 
Democratic  [or  "Republican"]  State  Committee;"  and  if  the  head- 
quarters be  not  certainly  known,  it  should  be  directed  to  both  the 
State  capital  and  the  chief  commercial  town,  so  that  the  post  office 
may  send  it  from  one  to  the  other  in  search  of  its  proper  destination. 


LEADING    MEMBERS   OF   CONGRESS.  1 45 

Persons  desirous  of  federal  employment,  who  are  physically  and 
intellectually  qualified  for  the  kind  or  class  of  employment  they 
desire,  and  who  have  a  fair  amount  of  political  or  social  inllucnce  at 
command,  may  materially  strengthen  their  claims  if  they  can  succeed 
in  getting  themselves  known  to  the  State,  Campaign,  or  National 
committee  as  a  zealous  and  useful  worker  for  the  party.  The  collec- 
tion of  funds,  the  getting-up  of  clubs  and  public  demonstrations,  the 
winning  over  of  known  political  opponents  among  the  voters,  the 
listing  of  every  doubtful  voter,  so  that  each  one  may  be  personally 
reached  by  influence,  oral  argument,  and  suitable  printed  matter,  the 
detection  and  pointing  out  of  opportunities  or  obstacles  in  townships 
or  other  small  districts,  the  scrutiny  of  registration  lists,  the  bringing 
up  of  absent  voters  to  the  polls,  and  the  challenging  of  illegal  voters, 
are  among  the  services  capable  of  being  performed  by  almost  any 
aspirant  for  public  office,  and,  if  well  performed,  certain  to  be  appre- 
ciated in  the  proper  quarters.
